New Server Discussion (March)

Edit: I'd like to thank everyone for their input and the poll has officially come to a close. Early Space has won out, though we had several other options with some support. If what you voted for didn't win, don't worry because we may end up doing it some day, just not right this second. Preparations are now under way to construct the Early Space server and we hope to have it up within a reasonable time frame.

So something I'm sure many of you are already aware of that I am quite sad to announce is that the Water World Server is now dead. The server had a good run and we all built a lot of really interesting and amazing things so it does pain me to see it go out so young compared to the lifespans of our previous servers, however with this development the time has come to look to the future.

Now, we had voted back in January to build a new Early Space Server, a server set in the early days of human colonization in the Martian and Jovian systems and the asteroid belt, however it has obviously been quite a bit of time since we voted to do so and there still remains some concerns about how it might be built and I myself am wondering if the idea is still interesting to the community after all this time.

Given this situation we find ourselves in, I'd like to hold a poll now on what our next sever should be, I'll try to include options from past server votes and a few extra so if you have a favorite theme that we rejected in past votes this is your second chance to try to get it (if votes are too spread out I might just hold a second poll with only those options with a certain number of votes, but we'll see, just vote what you want not what you think will win).

I'm still supporting Early Space Colonization. Now that I looked at UEG's page I thought maybe we could situate it in the 30 Years War of Mars period or after/before it. I can of course help with organizing the server.

That's an interesting idea, it'd make it the first PBS using SAP canon as a backstory.

Well this has certainly been an interesting poll, I was surprised to see Mountain World get a few votes, Sky World really came out of no where and was leading until the end here, and there was even some support for Future Earth and the Layered World idea, but ultimately at the last moment here Early Space has jumped ahead with a fair majority. In case you can't be bothered to scroll up or for what ever reason you find the above poll hard to read, here's the results:
